The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 1163: The builder?

Breathe, big mouth breathing is the only thing Pluto can do right now. Just when he saw the spike passing through his chest, he thought that he might be over, because according to the legend, his soul was dragged away and eaten by the monster's tentacles. It fell, leaving only a corpse full of fear and waiting to be discovered soon.

However, what he never expected was that he could escape from the dead, so a kind of inexplicable joy was produced in his heart, but before he felt the joy carefully, there was a flame-like heat from his chest. His pain spread to his whole body in an instant, and he passed out in a coma under the impact of the heat.

Just when Pluto fainted again, one hand grabbed his clothes and lifted him from the ground, then the other hand stretched out and tore the clothes on his chest, revealing a brand on his chest. General ring wound.

"This is an interesting phenomenon!" I only heard Leo's voice coming from the shadows, and then I saw Leo wearing a long trench coat and a certain wide-brimmed hat standing on the street with Pluto. Under the light, he then placed Pluto on the ground and examined Pluto's body very carefully.

If it’s a normal wound, Leo wouldn’t pay special attention to this person who was attacked by monsters in the long night. After all, he has seen no less than 20 monster attacks in Odolin’s time. In the city, most of them died on the spot, and a few survived, but they were not as good as dead.

Only, the person in front of him survived the fatal attack of the monster in the long night period, and now his body seems to be undergoing some transformation, and some unknown force is being stimulated in his body, instead of being corroded by the power of the monster and causing inhumanity At least from the current situation, the transformation in this person is a benign transformation.

This seems more like a miracle to Leo, because after most of the day he has been hunting and killing these monsters that appeared in the city during the long night period. He thinks he already knows this monster very well, so he also knows how this monster is. The effect of power on ordinary people is no less than poisonous, and the situation in front of this person is like drinking a bottle of deadly poison in one sip, but the poison turns into a nutrient solution, not only does not harm this person , On the contrary, helped this person inspire some extraordinary powers.

Those who know about the monsters that appear during the long night will regard these monsters and the mutant monsters that usually appear as the same kind of monsters, but Leo found that this view is completely wrong, because according to him, after the death of the two monsters The remaining material, you can find the difference in the original strength of the two.

For example, the mutated monsters that appeared after the foggy year were almost all mutated from some beasts or humans. Their mutations were all irregular, and they had strange powers. Someone once thought of counting how many kinds of monsters there are in the world. , The result really ended in failure, also because all monsters have different shapes and different strengths, and there are no monsters that are exactly the same from strength to shape, which also leads to completely different sources of power.

However, these monsters that appear during the long night are different. Although their appearance and the way of displaying their power are also different, it is not difficult to see that their original power should be the same through the details of the power contained in the residual material after they are killed. This kind of power, but this kind of power is too huge and too complicated, and finally it manifests itself in different forms.

For example, the monster just used its own power to create an energy conduit, inserted into the target body to extract blood and energy from the target body, and its shape was a black skin that perfectly blended with the surrounding darkness.

However, the power contained in the skin of this monster after being killed, at least from the perspective of energy fluctuations, is exactly the same as the various monster residues currently harvested by Leo. It is just the way they use their power, and the effect after the power is fully displayed. different.

Now Leo already has the materials to supply him for several experiments. He does not need to continue hunting in O'Dorrain for the time being, and now there is such an interesting experimental subject, so he plans to go to the quarry. The laboratory, while processing the materials in hand, records the transformation process of this person, to see if he can find another way for ordinary people to obtain extraordinary powers.

Just when Leo rolled up the remaining skin of the monster on the ground and put it in his backpack, and was about to carry the man on the ground to leave, a light suddenly lit up on the distant wall. At that time, the beacon signal made by a special formula, It is only used when the monster is attacking the city. This kind of light is very eye-catching even in the daytime, let alone in the long night period.

Sure enough, Leo heard the roar of monsters and the screams of humans coming from there, and then the special mechanical friction sound of large mechanical crossbows also passed through the silent sky and spread across the city. , It seems that there should be a monster group attacking the city wall, and judging from the use of mechanical bows and crossbows used to defend the city, there may be large monsters in the monster group.

Such a loud sound and eye-catching light naturally alarmed the people in the city. Many people boldly pushed open the windows, even opened the doors, and looked in the direction of the sound, even if their sight was blocked by the surrounding houses. , But they don’t seem to be at ease without taking a look.

Leo's attention was also attracted by such a big movement, but he was not because of those sounds, but because of the bursts of energy waves from the city wall and the peculiar force field running underground.

The energy wave transmitted by the city wall should be a counterattack formed by the power contained in the city wall after certain monsters hit the city wall. This can be guessed without much thinking. On the contrary, it is the force field that is running underground in the city. Something unexpected, because this power was clearly a wizarding circle composed of Turing radicals, and this circle was not discovered before.

The reason why I didn’t find it was because this Turing circle perfectly overlapped with the giant under the city of Odolin. When Leo’s spiritual network and vision observe the giant, what they see will only be transformed into Giant bones, flesh and blood and remains of a part of the earth.

However, now the monster attacking the city has alarmed the hidden defenses in the entire city, and in turn inspired the Turing roots integrated into the giant's body, and finally formed this peculiar energy field hidden deep underground.

From preliminary observations, the role of this energy field is divided into two, one is to send energy to the city wall to resist the impact of monsters, and the other is a bit peculiar, that is to disperse the power of monsters impacting the city wall. Disperse the power to the underground, but to all the buildings in the city, everyone, and even all the monsters hidden in the dark.

This is equivalent to the fact that all the objects in the entire city are bearing the impact on the outer walls, and no matter how great the impact the outer wall encounters, as long as it does not exceed the upper limit of the ability of all objects in the entire city, the city wall will not There may be damage.

For example, now, after the city wall encounters an impact, after the impact is dispersed on everyone and objects in the city, it is equivalent to a dust falling on the body. It will not feel any way to ordinary people, only Leo. People who are particularly sensitive to all changes in the surroundings can detect a trace of anomalies and then reason about the truth.

This is also one of the places Leo was surprised, because he never thought that he would become a part of the whole city without knowing it, as if the city of Odolin had a certain unique world law, as long as he entered This city, whether it is active or passive, whether it is a destroyer or a builder, will become a part of the city’s resistance to external shocks, just like entering a certain world and unknowingly becoming a part of a certain world. Such things will not be dictated by personal will.

However, this is not the place that surprised Leo the most. What surprised Leo the most was that the wizard's circle that caused all of this didn't seem to be inscribed with a special method after the giant died, but it seemed that the giant itself had it. of.

It’s a misunderstanding that people in the black market, churches, and other underground worlds regard him as the last tower wizard, but if he has to count, he deserves this title, because it counts on the knowledge he has. , He is not much inferior to those high-tower wizards in the past, and through the research of various wizard towers built by the high-tower wizards, he has also found out some rules for the high-tower wizards to arrange the Turing radical array.

Based on his knowledge, it is not difficult to find that the wizard circle in the giant's body has obvious characteristics of the layout of the tower wizard Turing radical circle, but this wizard circle is not only the traces of the tower wizard, but also I don't know that Turing's root array technique is also more advanced than the layout techniques he knows.

If divided according to the level of life form, the wizard's magic circle integrated with giants seems to reach the higher life form of the ninth-level psionicist, while the wizard's magic circle of the tower wizard has at most the level of the fourth-level psionicist.

"Who is the tower wizard who participated in the construction of Odoline City back then?" Leo couldn't help but ask such a question in his mind.

Obviously, the wizard's magic circle in the giant should be the work of the tower wizard who participated in the construction of Odoline City back then. It can even be said that this tower wizard is the builder of Odoline City. This person has reached the Turing roots. To an incredible point, such a tower wizard should be famous in the world, but in Leo's memory, there is no tower wizard that can match the construction of Odolin City.

In Leo’s memory, the tower wizard who built the black castle lighthouse should be the one who mastered the Turing root circle the deepest among the tower wizards in the past, but the lighthouse built by the tower wizard and the current map of Odolin City Compared with the spiritual root matrix, it is obviously nothing. With Leo’s current knowledge, it is only a matter of time to analyze the Turing root matrix in the lighthouse, but the Turing root matrix in Aldoline City , But he didn't have the slightest confidence to be able to analyze it.

At this time, the sound of fighting on the other side of the city wall began to weaken, and it seemed that this round of monster impact had passed, and those city residents who were nervously watching also closed their doors and windows again.

When some residents of the houses near Leo’s location pulled their attention back from the city wall, they more or less checked the surrounding situation, and they naturally saw Leo standing on the street and lying at his feet. That person.

However, none of these residents said anything. Instead, they closed the doors and windows silently, as if they hadn’t seen anything, but judging from the increasing intensity of the light transmitted by those doors and windows, their emotions at the moment are obviously very nervous. , It should be regarded Leo as some unknown long-night monster, trying to block the monsters outside from entering the house by putting more fuel into the brazier and fireplace, increasing the fire, and at the same time alleviating the fear in the heart.

Leo ignored the thoughts in the hearts of those inhabitants who saw him. After the Turing radicals at his feet calmed down and were hidden in the body of the giant transformed into the earth, he was not interested in staying here. He raised the person at his feet, entered a dark alley, and quickly moved in the direction of the old quarry.

Although he was holding a person in his hand, Leo was still very fast, but in a moment he returned from the other side of the city to the pit of the quarry.

However, he did not enter the big pit for the first time, but stood on the edge of the big pit and looked at the sump at the bottom of the quarry.

One third of the bottom of the quarry is a catch basin, UU Reading www. The sump of uukanshu.com was originally a deeper quarrying site, but it may be that an underground river was dug, and the quarrying site was completely submerged.

When Leo moved the laboratory to the quarrying site next to the sump, he inspected the pool and dived in to check the conditions inside, and found that it was in a channel of the quarrying site as described in the record. , There is a hole connecting the underground river, and there are no creatures in the water.

However, now Leo sees a creature that looks like a big fish swimming in the water in that sump. This big fish is very big and occupies almost half the area of ​​the pool, comparable A medium-sized sailboat, if placed in the sea, should be called a sea monster.

However, after Leo scanned through the mental network, he found that this strange looking fish was not a fish at all, but countless twisted bugs the size of fingers and with many small mouths. These bugs crossed each other. Tangled together, this formed the appearance of such a big fish.

If only some strange-looking insects were combined into a big fish, Leo would not stop and pay attention to them. The reason that really made Leo stopped was actually what he felt from these insects. Energy fluctuations, and that kind of energy fluctuations are the unique energy fluctuations of the lady in the lake in his memory.
